IMPLANTS

eliminate damage to other teeth caused by conventional bridge work. You can replace a single tooth
or a whole set of dentures.

systems scientifically tested for over 35 years and supported by over 700 scientific publications, a
recent study showed that of 7711 implants placed over 13.4 years showed a survival rate of 94.6%.

At West Parade Dental Care we are happy to offer any advice and want you to receive the best possible treatment. Wherever you
decide to have an implant, please ask your dentist the following questions so that you can be satisfied that you are receiving the correct choice of treatment for you.

What brand of dental implant will your dentist use, would they select this for themselves or their own family?

Are the implants scientifically well researched?

Does the implant have a life time guarantee and will all the supporting components be around in twenty years time?

Are your implants going to be available and supported worldwide?

suitable option for you. If you decide to go ahead with any treatment then a more detailed

This includes a detailed examination which involves taking any necessary xrays, impressions of your

have received your treatment plan letter which will allow you to discuss any aspect of the treatment

SMILE DESIGN

Although your mouth and teeth maybe healthy, chipped, discoloured or crooked teeth can be
restored in a way that is kind to your teeth. A simple whitening treatment can make your teeth
appear straighter and reflect a glossy, more youthful appearance. Adhesive dentistry can be a
fantastic alternative to porcelain veneers. Dr Edwards is able to craft beautiful smiles that look
natural and can transform your appearance.

“I just wanted to say a big thank you to both you and Emma for making me feel at ease during the treatment. I can honestly say that I had complete faith in you from the beginning and experienced neither fear nor pain throughout the whole
treatment.”

"I can't believe how much better foods taste now that I can actually chew them properly."

"I just wanted to say thank you for my fabulous new teeth. It’s made me feel a lot more confident and I can’t stop smiling"
